Package Resources

The package resource can be used to help us install the software using the local Pack management system, or it can be installed by specifying a package with parameters.

1. Common Properties of package resources

Package {' Resource title ':

Allowcdrom

Description

Ensure

Provider

Source

}

Allowcdrom: Notifies apt to allow the use of CDROM as a source of software, which can be set to False or true.

Description: Describes the package.

ensure: Set the installation state of the package, you can set the value of present|installed|absent|latest|purged| " Version ".

= = present|installed, checks whether the file exists, does not exist the new
= = Absent, no other software dependencies, can be deleted, otherwise it will error.
= = Latest, check whether the file is the latest version, or upgrade to the latest version
= = purged, remove the package including all dependent packages, with the risk of caution
= "2.7.21-1", specifying that a version is in the installed state

provider: Different platforms are available in different packages.

Source: Specifies the installation source for the package.

Case 1

Installing httpd RPM packages through the package resource

Edit/etc/puppet/manifests/package.pp, add the following:

Package {' httpd ':

ensure = installed,

Provider = ' Yum ',

}

If it is a RPM package, you can also set this

Package {' httpd ':

ensure = installed,

Source = '/tmp/httpd-2.2.15-45.el6.centos.i686.rpm ',

Provider = ' rpm ',

}

# Puppet Apply Package.pp

NOTICE:/stage[main]//package[httpd]/ensure:created

notice:finished catalog run in 1.91 seconds

Case 2

The above is to install a package, if we install a large number of packages can be set

package {["httpd",

"Puppet",

"Nginx",

"OpenSSL"]:

ensure = installed,

}
